Las Palmas cruise port guide

A day ashore in Las Palmas: the old town and the best pizza in the Canary Islands

Docked at the Santa Catalina cruise terminal? In about 15 minutes you can be in Vegueta, the historic heart of the city, and sit down to an award-winning wood-fired pizza a short walk from the Cathedral.

From the ship to the table

How to get from the cruise terminal to the old town

Ships berth at the Santa Catalina terminal, in the north of the city. Vegueta and Triana, the historic centre, are about 4 km south along the seafront.

10–15 min

Taxi

The easiest option. Taxis wait right outside the terminal. Ask for “Calle Triana” or “Catedral de Santa Ana” and you will be dropped a few steps from us.

≈ 20 min

City bus

The yellow city buses (guaguas) leave from Parque Santa Catalina, a short walk from the terminal, towards San Telmo and Teatro Pérez Galdós, both at the edge of Triana.

≈ 1 hour

On foot

A flat walk along the seafront promenade. Lovely in the morning; most visitors walk one way and take a taxi back to the ship.
